The aim of the project was to create a market space for 10 vendors where once can have an uninterrupted shopping experience. This is achieved through positioning of vendors on either sides of a central hallway for circulation. The play of volumes allows regulated amount of light in the space. The orientation of modules of wall is such that all the thrust of the steel vault above transfers the load through concrete gutters and finally to the masonry walls below. Hence making it a load bearing structural system.

Design Process: Creating collage from the given kit of planer and linear load bearing elements to make a market space for 10 vendors
Design Process: exploring design iterations on the basis of fundamental principles like movement and circulation, organization of spaces according to function and understanding the importance of spatial character achieved by roof.

The Bazaar has a central steel vault, the load is transferred to the concrete gutters on either sides which then transfers the load to 460mm thick masonry walls which carry the line of thrust within itself.
Idea of Bazaar here is to have an uninterrupted shopping experience with a wide path for circulation in the center and accommodation of vendors on either side. The arrangement of walls creates opening in a way that vendor spaces are lit throughout the day and central core has a cooler temperature.
